   Our company name search tool, is a simple online search tool that you can use to search the list of business names already registered with Companies House. It searches over 1.8 million names and displays the results according to your search criteria, listing if your name is free and all other company names which are similar to it. If you already have a name in mind for your new business, this is the best way to go about checking it is not already in use and registering it to stop other people from using it.
